Proposed Statewide Pit Bull Ban In Georgia

[RebelOne]

This was posted at one of my animal rescue groups message boards. I am concerned because I have a Rottweiler and if this ban goes through, my dog's breed could be next.

Proposed statewide pit ban

If you're against this, you need to start contacting your legislators and let them know. Here's the legislation and below this is info on who to contact.
http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2005_06/fulltext/hb78.htm

EVERYONE needs to write letters to the assembly regarding this. This is not a fix to a problem, it only allows irresponsible pet owners to put the blame where it doesn't belong, on innocent animals. The problem with pit bulls is crappy owners. Also, the types of owners causing problems are usually criminals, so they won't obey the ban anyway. If this law passes it won't stop at pit bulls! Your Rottweilers, German Shepards, Dobermans, etc may be next! PLEASE HELP US FIGHT THIS LAW. Please write letters to these representatives. If you need help writing letters or tips please visit
PBRC's BSL page:

Also at bottom of page is a WSB radio poll.
